Chapter 509: Chapter 508: Theoretically, I Am At the Nascent Soul Stage Now_1

“Congratulations! Congratulations! You’ve finally reached the Late Golden Core Stage.” Fairy Eternity clapped her hands with a wide smile on her face.

“The speed of your cultivation is quite decent, just a bit slower than mine. I presume you’re about as fast as Immortal Jiuchong and Qilin Immortal.”

Although the speed of cultivation isn’t the most crucial factor for achieving immortality, it embodies one’s potential to become an immortal.

“Seeing you so diligently cultivating makes me think of Immortal Jiuchong and others who are constantly in a rush, savoring every minute and second like their buttocks were on fire. They’re indeed diligent.”

Lu Yang nodded. Competition was fierce in ancient times. If you were slower, you were behind in all aspects. Immortal Jiuchong and others’ fervent cultivation was simply a reflection of the intense competition of that era.

On the contrary, now, although it is said that a great era is coming and talents are emerging with the spirit of ancient times, the zeal for cultivation is not as intense as in ancient times. People like Meng Jingzhou who are idling their days away, doing tasks outside, wasting time and delaying cultivation are despised.

“Sadly, no matter how diligent they are, their cultivation speed is not as fast as mine. They get defeated by me in cross-realm battles every time.”

“Having said that, each time they escaped, their speed improved a bit. There were several instances when I almost didn’t manage to keep up.”

Lu Yang thought to himself that Immortal Jiuchong and the others were striving every minute and second, probably because they wanted to catch up with you and bear fewer beatings.

“According to my current cultivation speed, I will reach the Nascent Soul Stage in half a year at most,” said Lu Yang. Since start, he never encountered a bottleneck. Sword Spirit Root cultivation method suggests, “be like a bamboo breaking through, soaring high,” able to break through any obstruction and bottleneck.

“Actually, you can already be considered at the Nascent Soul Stage,” said Fairy Eternity nonchalantly.

“Why?”

“What is the symbol of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage?”

“In Dantian, cultivate a primordial spirit, manifest a baby.” This is the definition for the Nascent Soul Stage in the cultivation world and Lu Yang had already memorized it.

Eldest Senior Sister had filled her abdomen with golden cores, chose a golden core to break it to reach the Nascent Stage, while the rest remained in the Golden Core stage. Based on the realm indicator, Eldest Senior Sister at that time was in the Nascent Soul Stage, not in the Golden Core Stage.

“Exactly! Now, I’m in the primordial spirit state. As long as I stay in your Dantian, aren’t you in the Nascent Soul Stage?”

“Besides, you are capable of challenging realms above yours as soon as you leave the Seek Dao Sect. You have the true strength of the Nascent Soul Stage.”

“You have the mark of the Nascent Soul Stage and also the power of the Nascent Soul Stage. If you’re not in the Nascent Soul Stage, then who is?”

Lu Yang: “…”

I don’t have a problem with that, but I’m afraid other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators might not agree.

“You don’t believe me. When the ancient ancestors explored the cultivation realms, this was indeed the initial Nascent Soul Stage.”

“When the ancient ancestors explored to the Golden Core Stage and couldn’t find a way out, then one of them refined the primordial spirit of a Demon Beast into his Dantian and gained unparalleled power, sufficient to crush all of the Golden Core Stage. The ancient ancestors named this stage as the Nascent Soul Stage.”

“But this kind of Nascent Soul Stage also came with a price. The lifespan was too short and the demon beast’s primordial spirit was not compatible with the human body, making it easy to perish.”

“Gradually, some people broke their golden cores and found a small person coming out of the golden core. This little person is one’s own primordial spirit.”

“In this way, there came the current cultivation method of the Nascent Soul Stage.”

As initially, the Golden Core Stage was replaced by Demon Core, during the exploration of the Nascent Soul Stage, the human race also relied on the power of the Demon Race.

The method of replacing the Golden Core with the Demon Core still exists today. In the cultivation world, this kind of Golden Core Stage is called Pseudo Pill Stage.

“So that’s how it is.”

Lu Yang suddenly understood. The fairy had finally narrated, although not useful now, indeed was an authentic ancient secret story.

Suddenly, Lu Yang faintly heard fighting noises coming from a distance.

“This direction…is towards the Sect’s gate?”

Lu Yang was surprised. Why would there be fighting at the gate? Is someone attacking the Seek Dao Sect?

Only such blatant attacks were possible for the Imperial Teacher to perform.

“Let’s go and check it out,” suggested Fairy Eternity excitedly. There were exciting things happening.

𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

As Lu Yang descended the mountain, he ran into Meng Jingzhou, who was also heading to investigate the situation.

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. I’m just there to check it out,” replied Meng Jingzhou.

“Together?”

“Alright.”

The sound of the battle was intense. Along with the two of them, many Senior Brothers and Sisters were heading towards the gate to check the situation. There was a sea of people.

The closer to the sect gate, the more intense the fighting noises became.

Upon reaching the gate, they found several Unification stage cultivators battling in the sky. They were ruthless and aggressive with no unnecessary movements, perfectly showcasing the grandeur of the Unification stage.

Lu Yang recognized one of the Unification stage cultivators, Daoist Buyu.

“Hey, hey, hey, what’s going on here? I just came back to the sect, was it necessary for my enemies to ambush me right at the gate?” Daoist Buyu yelled as he continually rolled and dodged. Although he looked harried, his movements were agile and none of the attacks hit their mark.

“Who has the time to ambush you here? You delivered yourself into our hands!” the other Unification cultivators replied in unison, coordinating their attacks and not giving Daoist Buyu a single chance to breathe.

“Gale blast!”

A hurricane swept across, stirring up countless sand and dust. Even the boulders on the ground were blown into the sky.

The whirlwind sandstorm roared towards Daoist Buyu.

With a sweep of Daoist Buyu’s duster, the sandstorm was cut off.

“Then why did you all come to the Seek Dao Sect?”

“Well, originally we planned to propose a marriage to your disciple Lu Yang. But since we ran into you at the gate, we thought, before proposing, why not give you a beating first,” said one of the Unification stage cultivator.

The other Unification cultivators nodded in agreement, that’s what they also thought.

Lu Yang understood then. His master had finally returned to the sect and had run into a proposing team. Upon seeing Daoist Buyu, the proposing team was instantly furious and joined forces to attack Daoist Buyu.

Well, Lu Yang did not feel like helping his master at all.

The other Senior Brothers and Sisters were also watching the fight, none of them showing any signs of helping. Probably because it was rare to see a Unification stage battle, everyone was immersed in the learning atmosphere and had no spare time to act.

Tao Yaoye, in particular, was the most focused. This was real Unification stage combat, with harsher moves compared to usual duels, extremely suitable for implementation in “Dream Mirage”.

Tao Yaoye had showcased the usage of Dream Mirage in the celebration activities, receiving many positive reviews. After the celebration ended, with the sect’s support, Tao Yaoye was widely promoting Dream Mirage and had already started on a large scale.

Its target group was mortals and low-tier cultivators. Going by various counts, the ticket price was not high, but the total income was much more than Lu Yang’s patent for the Flying Car.

Among the younger generation, Meng Jingzhou had the most spirit stones, followed by Tao Yaoye. Lu Yang was only third.

Man Gu as the adored treasure of the Barbarian Tribe, had a fair amount of pocket money, enough to rank fourth.

Fifth was Li Haoran, but this was temporary. Once he got married to Su Yiren and they had shared property, his wealth ranking would rapidly rise to second.

In the end, Daoist Buyu took advantage of an opening in the attack, turned into a sword light, and flew into the sect. The propose team’s Unification cultivators then gave up chasing and left reluctantly.

Daoist Buyu was covered in dust and looked extremely embarrassed as he tried to steady his breathing.

All he did was pass by the sect’s gate. Who would have thought that there would be enemies waiting there?

“Master, what kind of grudge do you have with those people?” Lu Yang asked curiously.

“Hard to say.”

“Hard to say?”

“I have too many enemies; I can’t keep track.”
